Everton have reportedly agreed two different deals with Chelsea to sign their striker Romelu Lukaku this summer.

Lukaku spent last season on loan at Goodison Park and, after impressing on Merseyside, the club are said to be preparing a £20m offer for the Belgium international in the coming weeks, according to Goal.

However, it’s believed that Blues manager Jose Mourinho is still unsure whether he wants to sell the 21-year-old outright, and that could mean that Lukaku is sent back on loan to The Toffees next term – which would be the player’s third consecutive season playing for another club since moving to Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku has scored 32 Premier League goals over the last two seasons after netting 15 goals for Everton last term and 17 goals at West Brom during the previous campaign.

Despite his impressive goalscoring record, though, the forward’s position at Chelsea has been cast in doubt after the club signed former striker Didier Drogba on a one-year deal this week and Diego Costa for £32m from Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
